It successfully didn’t backfire on the US.

It’s good for them. That’s the point they’re making. All this shows that for many countries nuclear proliferation is the way to guarantee their safety.

If raw materials isn’t the bottle neck for life every where, then what might it further down the line between oceans full of nucleotides and life? The oceans themselves?

I think it’s less about tools and more about the spaces that humans operate in. You don’t need a human-like hand to hold a tool made for humans. As an extreme example, you can make a robot operate a power drill with strap to hold it and a s

Ah, so this is why many companies end up full of sociopaths who contribute nothing to the actual revenue of the company: they all managed to weasel themselves into the “profit centers” while the chumps doing actual work that keeps the light

It only looks bright if the laser is aimed directly at you. But I suppose even that depends on the wavelength used.

If you’ve had soups and broth made with lots of bones, and you want to recreate that same mouth feel and experience without using loads of bones, then you can achieve that by using gelatin, because gelatin is exactly what the first dish had

He says that he encourages the pieces to only transported by re-shipping them through FedEx, so as they change owners and travel the world they will become progressively more damaged.

This is a refreshingly pragmatic approach to modern art and I love it.

This is the worst take on “it’s not art” I’ve ever read. You can look through any art history textbook and it’s filled to the brim with classic art that convey lots of information.

So even if they fix the issue, it sounds as though you can still shoot itself in the foot by essentially being at to arbitrarily change an existing key from “not a secret” to “is a secret”? Even if you have a key that you use for maps (not

Apparently discussing that Die Hard depicts murder and violence is a banned topic and thus the comment is flagged as off topic.

I first heard about bitcoin sometime in college (2007-2011). At the time I thought about buying a couple just for fun (might have been a few dollars worth? Can’t remember). But I decided it was a waste of money. And at the time, it was a co

As you note, we have a specific word for solid water. Additionally, in colloquial speech “water” almost exclusively refers to the liquid state. Finally we have “steam” to refer to the gaseous state. So English arguably has three unique word

Wearing a hidden camera and recording people is also very socially unacceptable. If someone knew you were wearing they would probably also “freak out”.

Not advocating for unprovoked violence, but I do hope wearing things like this remains socially unacceptable. Not all technology is good.

I worked somewhere with a few hundred employees across 3 floors. If someone wearing business casual walked onto our floor I would have no idea if they worked for us or not.

Or put all user pages under some top level path and then you never need to ban anything as this problem becomes completely moot.

> Guns are a first line defense for millions of people In failed states, sure. In many countries police officers may not even carry guns all the time. The gun and violence situation we have here in the US is not normal for first world co

You can plan every "top level" path you'll ever want on the site from now until forever? Or do you mean planning as in plan to force account name changes on users when someone's username conflicts with a new feature name

Isn’t the /photos kind of necessary since usernames are UGC? What if a username is “about” or “contact”? I would be very confused if flickr.com/contact went to a user page.

Looking at the tweet he’s replying to, I still find it incredible people talk to these LLMs as if they are rational beings who will listen to them. The fact that they sometimes do is almost coincidence more than anything. It’s even more unb

Doesn't feel any more daft to me than saying nonsense words like "Google" or "Spotify". If anything, the problem with their name is it's too long.

I guess to provide a counterpoint to my own comment, even I worked for a company that created their own internal social network similar to Facebook (this was 15 years ago). Of course it sucked and no one used it except executives and VPs. E

If Slack is so simple why haven’t companies created their own internal versions 10 years ago?

> Don't you have the right to bear arms, with some idea that it is needed to prevent the government from exercising excessive powers over you, yet actually doing anything with those guns to protect yourself from tyranny is a crime?

Almost certainly. Random people are not the legal arbiters of what’s unconstitutional. I can’t say I disagree with what they’re doing, but it’s absolutely vigilante justice, not legal.

In a time when the president’s face is on a giant banner hanging from the DOJ, it feels appropriately cynical.
